Negotiations for Mccormick.

PITTsBURG. April 21.-Rumors in regard to
the Mccormick deal are somewhat conflicting.
1t is said that since Manager Phillipss departure
from Paterson, Mccormick is quoted as having
said that he had promised the New York club
not to sign anywhere without first informing
them. He is perfectly willing to come to Pitts
burg, providing he is paid his price, 81. 900 for
the season. He is also prepared to play in New
York at this price. He will not sign to play for
less. His business is such that he easily
afford to retire from the baseball field. Not
withstandng this statement. the management

that it is obtained by the same means that
were employed to produce the daffodil

vogue, but which having been adopted by
ladies of a certain class are now tabooed

The Properties Of Coca

Mr.. Du Pre- expresses the opinion tlnlt
coca is the most potent nervine at man 8
disposal. .'Its hygienic properties are
disclosed from its physiological proper
ties" is the verdict pronounced by q
Spanish physician resident at San Saliva
dor, who furthermore declares that in hot
infusion coca is the most useful and
healthful beverage one can drink after
dining. 1t is especially commendable to
the feeble and TO those who have tram
scended the limits of sobriety in using al
cohol, and, therefore, should be tested in
asylums for inebriates. Ii surely and
certainly calms nervous excitab;lity, and,
used in small quantities, enables one to
endure cold, rain and snow, and TO defy
great fatigue, and restores the forces inn
paired or lost 10y excesses.
In South American countries it is popu-
larly used for indigestion, disorClered
stomach, hysteria, flatulency, collie and
all intestinal troubles.
1t is employed constantly by toilers In
the mines, and when they reach the mines
after marching several days through
forests and over mountains, sustained
alone by the use of coca and maize, they
are permitted to eat at discretion through
four days and have perfect rest. Co
caismo, or habitual intoXication by use OF
coca. becomes more incurable than alco-
holism or servitude to opiates, but its con-
sequences are not yet wholly measured
ror determined. Excessive and constant
use of the coca rs an intoXicant begets
rapid moral and intellectual degradation

rupted at intervals by resistless impulses

There are about 5000 postmasters in the
country and about $4,000 of them have been
changed since the accession of the Cleveland
administration. The reason that the remain
ing 10000 have not been changed is that their
offices are very small affairs, and their pay
merely nominal, so there was nobody who
wanted them. OF course this will be cheer
ing information to the Democracy, and will
go good way to reconcile them TO the re-
nomination of Cleveland. But those of
the Independents who supported Mr.. Glove
land because they believed that civil service
reform would flourish under him must view
this showing with great sadness. OF course
the great majority of these changes are due
solely to political reasons and did not con-
tribute to the efficiency of the service, some
times quite the reverse. They have been
made in defiance of the spirit Of civil service
reform, which Mr.. Cleveland was supposed
to be thoroughly imbued with before cleo
tion, and in recognition of the old Jackso-
nian doctrine that to the victors belong the

The Great Rent Question.

In the discussions of the Irish question
which have been continuous in Great Britain
and on this side Of the water, also, for that
matter, for about ten years now, there has
been one point on which the sentiments Of
law abiding Americans have been more or
less obscure. This point is the rent question
In America the conditions of life and busi-
ness are such that refusal to ray rent is re-
garded like refusal to pay debt of any
other kind. The landlord in a Maine city or
town, although the number Of landlords are
few in the country regions Of Maine, has
perfect right to say to his tenant, ''You NAV
pay my price or leave the rent for another"
There Is not often much hardship involved
for the tenant who generally may find
another rent qnite readily, or purchase
small home Of his own on easy terms. Every
one recognizes that the landlord has right
to do as he will with his own Hence it hap
pens that many Americans who honestly
sympathize with the cause of the Irish patri-
OTIS, are disquieted by the continual bicker-
ings and turmoils of the Irish tenants and
their refusals to pay rents From the anal
ogy Of the relations of landlords and tenants
In America, where the refusal of large
number of tenants to pay the rent due would
be regarded justly as dishonest perform
ance, it is difficult for conservative man to
reconcile the performances of the Irish with
the principles of honesty. But the mistake
is nade in assuming that the conditions of
rent paying are analogous in ireland
and America. In the first place, in
America the title of the landlord
10 lie 1T
quired it honestly, or at least under
just laws. Everyone else had the same fair
chance to acquire property that he, or those
from whom he inherited it, did In Ireland
1t is very different. Generally speaking, the
title OF the landlord to his property is not
good' but very bad. The Irish people have
not tIorgotten,-indeed how could they for
sotl IL, LOT even English historians have bla-
zoned the outage for all time,-that the
lands Of Ireland were the spoil OF conquest.
taken from their original owners and given
to men of another race to have. to hold and
to transmit to their posterity. That nos
terity have held Ireland ever since, for their
own comfort and their own benefit The
Irish people know the history of the tran
saction, they can read it any day from the
pages of the greatest English historians.
Legally the title Of the landlord is good
morally it is not, for there is no moral stat
ute of limitations that can enable a right DO
sition to result from wrong act. So in this
respect the relations of tenants and landlords
are radically different in Ireland and
America. There are other differences, less
fundamental than this, but of even more
practical Importance. In Ireland the great
masses of the people are tillers Of the soil,
and the competition has all been against
Them. The landlords, because there have

Time will not hang very heavy on the
hands Of the new American party If it sets
resolutely to work to realize its views as laid
down in the call for general convention of
Its sympathizers. Its distinctive work is to
quote the language of the call, to "empha-
size and perpetuate the sentiment-America
for Americans" Whether this work is good
one depends on what definition the new par
ty would give to Americans. IL 1t adopts
the old Knownothing definition it will get
little sympathy or support. But if by Ameri-
cans 1t means simply men who identify them
selves with the welfare Of the country, obey
its laws and believe in its future in contra

whose efforts are constantly directed to the

of the editors Of the Providence Journal,

geration to say that the slaves on the planta-
tions had more of the comforts and luxuries

The employees of the Reading road object
to skeins of yarn as tests of color blindness,
and insist that boards and lanterns shall be
used instead. If the yarn test is insisted upon
all the employes-the color blind and those
of correct vision as well-threaten to strike.
1t is hard to see why they should be willing
to submit to one test and reject the other.
An eye that could detect the colors Of boards
and lanterns would have no difficulty with
skeins of yarn, and an eye that could not
distinguish the color of yarn would have no
better success with boards and lanterns.
Nevertheless they object to the yarns, and
unless the company yields general strike
seems inevitable.
